Model Railroad Scenery using Extruded Foam: Part 1 - HQ

My Web Site: http://modelrr.oakviewresources.com/
I ran the source videos through a video enhancer and recompiled them at a higher bit rate. Both the sound and the video are somewhat better(you'll need to watch them in High Quality mode). This is the first part of a multi- part tutorial of doing Model Railroad Scenery using extruded construction foam. This video contains an intro and discussion on the materials you will need to get started.

How do you secure the mountains to the table? I want to be able to put it vertically on my garage wall when I am not using it.

Are you talking about the white foam? If so it's fine if your going to cover it with sculpt-a-mold and rock castings.

OO scale is closer to HO than N scale.

Here are the ratios:

HO - 1:87

OO -  1:76.2

N - 1:160

Okay, Thanks

It's been a while since I got some. I think I paid about 18 dollars for a 2 inch thick 4 X 8 sheet. That was 6 years ago though. I'm sure it's gone up since then.

how much does the extruded foam cost?
